Excellent explanation of the planetary carbon cycle. All works consistently ... until you add humans to the geology.

Thank you for mentioning the carbonate-silicate cycle, so important for marine life!

I appreciate that you cite the papers used in your research. I always like to scan them for myself. I believe you are right to encourage a broader view of the carbon cycle.

Excellent review of current status of CO2.

Totally agree with other comments.
